The most recent settlement involved a 2010 False Claims Act
case filed in U.S. District Court in Tampa, Fla. The case was brought by retired
Air Force lieutenant colonel, Timothy Ferner, who had worked as the chief of
staff for the Coalition and Irregular Warfare Center at Nellis Air Force Base
in Nevada.

In 2006, the General Services Administration awarded SAIC a
blanket purchase order award to cover engineering and consulting services for
new products and technologies. The Justice Department said SAIC personnel
provided false information to contract officials, including an incident where a
person falsely represented himself as a member of the Department of Defense's senior
executive staff and director of another federal agency.

The agreement did not identify the role or identity of that person.

"SAIC received a contract, awarded by GSA, based on
fictitious information," said GSA Inspector General Brian Miller.
"This deceptive scheme shows that we must be on the lookout for all forms
of contract fraud."

Under the False Claims Act, Ferner is entitled to a portion
of the recovery. His share of the settlement will be $977,500.

According to the Justice Department, the settlement resolves
all claims based on the allegations and there has been no determination of
liability.

Headquartered in Virginia, SAIC provides scientific,
engineering, and technical services to commercial and government customers. It
has 38,000 employees worldwide, including 2,500 in Huntsville. It also has
locations in Anniston, Daleville,
Montgomery, Mobile, Tanner and Oxford.
